Hi Kieth,
This is a known problem with L-M 6.1 - I bet you have the kcmclock package
installed. If you do, remove it with kpackage or rpm. Then re-install the
kdelibs package. This fixed up my system so all works well. I think there is a
conflict between something in the kcmclock package and the kdelibs one. I have
not missed the kcmclock package's functionality here, so maybe you will not
either.
HTH,
